PlayStation owners aren’t strangers to server outages. Three years back, hackers took down PSN for a whole month. The long outage led Sony to apologize at E3 months later and gave out free games to everyone impacted.

Lizard Squad then chose to call in a bomb threat for Smedley’s flight home:

.@AmericanAir We have been receiving reports that @j_smedley's plane #362 from DFW to SAN has explosives on-board, please look into this.

Lizard Squad apparently took down servers for a number of other PC games. For instance, they targeted Blizzard’s Battle.net earlier this weekend. This stopped many from playing Hearthstone, Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft. The final update from Blizzard’s customer support states that they have the server issues in check, though:

We are gradually bringing everyone back online again. Thank you all once again for your patience and for following our twitter feed. :D

League of Legends was brought down by Lizard Squad as well. Developer Riot Games admitted in a forum post that DDOS problems have been happening for several weeks, though. They seem resigned to the fact that this is a regular hazard for any multiplayer game.
